Aloha!
Please join us on April 2nd at 7pm for an evening of psalms and eucharistic adoration with Catholic composer & songwriter, Francesca LaRosa at St. Michael’s. If you’re in the Hilo side of the island, join us at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Pāpa’ikou on April 3rd at 7pm. Admission is free for both concerts.
Francesca is an internationally recognized Catholic composer, with her sheet music being played in churches all over the world. She is most well-known for her settings of the Psalms and prayers set to music, as she composes music to God’s Word to help people memorize and proclaim the Word of God. She has a degree in music education from Ball State University and served as a music director for 3.5 years in Indianapolis, IN. She now works as a full-time composer with her husband and music producer, David, creating resources for cantors and musicians to better the music for the Church. Recently published by OCP.
We’ve enthusiastically performed her psalm arrangements at St. Michael’s. Ms. LaRosa’s piece, “Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)” has been selected as our communion chant during the Lenten season.
